Girl Crush of the Week: Megan Leanderson

Introducing.... Megan Leanderson and her little friend :)

We first fell in love with Miss Megan a few months ago when she stopped by our blog after we featured the queen of prep, Alice Richardson, as our Girl Crush of the Week. Megan wrote us the sweetest note and after heading over to her blog and clicking "next page" 893719870 times, we knew she was our spirit animal. What can we say, we're suckers for an adorable preppy gal whose home looks like it belongs in Southern Living and who's recipes should be on the Food Network :)

Megan's blog, Pink to Green, charts many aspects of her amazing life in Charlotte, NC. From whipping up recipes like a delectable banana cake to decorating her beautiful home to searching for her inner peace (and no, not the kind achieved when you finally got THAT BLOUSE you've been lusting after and on sale for no less), Pink to Green runs the gambit. Megan is a sweet as she is talented so we are VERY honored to have her as our Girl Crush of the Week!

Megan's feature in The Knot!

Style icons? Places I’ve lived,
rather than people, are what I find most iconic in terms of style. I get
dressed thinking about the ebullient charisma of an Italian woman, the beachy-bohemian
vibe so easily worn by my friends down under or the classic elegance on the streets
of Georgetown.

Oh hello future Southern Living feature!

Design philosophy?Take your time, let things evolve and go
with your gut. When you see a piece that you love, get it and work it into your
home.

Favorite book of all time? There are
too many! The World According to Garp, The Red Tent and Little Women top the
list.

Total yogi!

Best advice you ever received? Just breathe. Yoga’s calming influence
on my life is palpable. It teaches you that by coming back to your breath, even
the most anxiety-ridden situations don’t seem so bad.

Favorite stores? I’ve always found
wonderful, collectable pieces at Elie Tahari and Club Monaco. For everyday, J Crew, Gap and Target
are great. If I won the lottery, my first stop would be Traditions in
Charlotte; I would buy hand knotted rugs and custom upholstered furniture to
the high heavens. My favorite stores these days tend to be more design focused.

The madras bow tie? This gentleman is just too dapper for his own good.

Dream place to live?Charleston, SC because
it combines the best of beach life and southern charm. Oh, and the food is
outta this world!

Biggest indulgence? Food. I was
taught to appreciate and cherish cooking and entertaining. Being in the kitchen brings me such joy;
I am constantly trying new recipes.

I'd say the friendship with Giada was a match made in heaven!

Girl crush? Kristen Bell and Giada
DeLaurentis are my best friends; they just don’t know it yet.

Favorite song? I walked down the
aisle to Strawberry Swing by Coldplay so that will always hold a special place
in my heart.

Current hangout? On the mat, Y2. Off the mat,
Halcyon. I love their menu, décor
and cocktails pictured above!

Motto? It’s not about doing
everything; it’s about doing something. When it comes to making healthier
decisions or being eco-friendly it can easily become overwhelming. I’m
passionate about both, but truly believe it isn’t an all or nothing
proposition.

Best place on earth? Mudbrick
vineyard in New Zealand. It is the most special restaurant experience in the
world.
